X Games is coming back to Austin Thursday, June 4 through Sunday, June 7 and will be even bigger and better than last year! Families can head to the Circuit of the Americas to check out some of the best action sports athletes around. Kids will love seeing the best skateboarders and BMXers go head to head in Freestyle, Big Air, Best Whip, Vert and Moto X competitions. But you’ll also be able to check out major music acts such as Metallica, Nicki Minaj, The Glitch Mob and many more!
Like last year, you can count on interactive “villages” where attendees can do everything from record their own music, to laser tag, to arcade games, to go-kart racing. Families will love The Playground, where kids can swing, bungee jump, play King of the Hill and compete in a hip-hop horsey race. Older kids can play hydro tag, run an obstacle course and get a taste of the X Games adrenaline via giant gyroscopes.
What’s New in 2015? The X Games organizers want to make this year even better for all of you attending with kids. Check out these awesome changes:
